A pavement parking odyssey

[Accy cyclist]

I should've taken a photo, but to be honest What's the point as it's only me getting all het up. Those who do the evil deed don't give a toss! I'm on about the car I saw 2 hours ago parked fully across a zebra crossing outside a takeaway. The crossing was completely blocked while effing scumbag got their crappy food! Oh, they must have a conscience though as they'd put their hazard warning lights on, to let those attempting to cross the road safely know that they'd created the avoidable hazard in the first place!!

The @#~!! who 'terrorised' me and other neighbours in the early 1990's, didn't notice the nitromors I deposited on his beloved boy racer Astra's windscreen. According to reports, he put his wipers on which flicked the stuff all over the bonnet!!

I was reading a n article about idiot parking a few days ago

Someone was going to a cafe and had to walk into the road to get round an idiot who took up the whole pavement
He left a note on the windscreen apologising for scratching the car and commenting that he thinks it will just polish out

Then went to the cafe and him and his friend watched as the owner returned, read the note then spent the next 10 minutes trying to find th enon-exiatant scratches

simple no destructive and funny

I definitely don't think damaging a car deliberately is the right thing to do, regardless of how badly parked.

looking again at those pics' I posted on Friday, the sign on the garage door says 'no parking'. I'm presuming even 2 hat BMW tosspot wouldn't be so daring to park in front of someone else's garage so it must be his/hers. I bet the git parks like that quite a lot and next to double yellow lines to boot! Being a grumpy old man type now, I am going to phone Lancs County Council's Highways Dept' next week and tell them how it was impossible for, emphasise the 'disabled me' to get past those cars and could they keep an eye on this illegal parking. The last time I phoned them about illegal parking in the near to my flat disabled bay they ticketed quite a few who shouldn't have been there and the the first of them was done in only a day or so.

They wouldn't have parked there if cyclists wore a helmet and were clearly visible with fluorescent clothing and didn't ride through red lights.

And were insured and paid 'road tax'!

Of course, because paying the non-existent-for-86-years Road Tax gives you FULL RIGHTS to park on the pavement, surely everyone knows that ...

I walk past a house most days that was sold recently. The previous owner had taken away the garden wall and concreted the postage stamp sized lawn to create a parking space. Their Toyota Yaris looked like it had been tailor-made to fill the spot.

Now the new owner has an enormous Audi Q7 and it overflows the parking spot and covers the pavement. Note to new owner, buy a more sensibly sized car or a house with a bigger driveway.

That makes me think of the house owners who according to local gossip have been banned by the council from parking their Mini on a big enough for two small cars drive. According to their neighbour, them reversing out their drive was deemed dangerous to buses that turn at the junction where their house is. I've never seen the car overhang onto the pavement at all, by the way. They always have, or had it well away from the dropped pavement. I'm sure they could do a three point turn on their drive and avoid reversing off. Anyway, they now park on the road and slightly on the pavement right at the buses turning point like a few more do, adding to the problem bus drivers face in turning at that junction!
